Leo Tolstoy
Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, commonly known in English as Leo Tolstoy, is a Russian writer considered one of the greatest writers of all time. He received nominations for the Nobel Prize for Literature each year from 1902 to 1906 and for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1901, 1902 and 1909. Whether he won it or not is a big controversy. Born into a Russian aristocratic family in 1828, Tolstoy is famous for his novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, often regarded as the pinnacle of realism. He first gained literary acclaim in his twenties with his trilogy of semi-autobiography, Childhood, Adolescence and Youth, and Sketch of Sevastopol, based on his experience of war. His novels include dozens of short stories and several novels such as Death, Family Happiness and Hadji Murad by Ivan Ilich. He also wrote plays and numerous philosophical essays.
